SMH and Other Late Mail- Matt Cooper and Beau Scott remain in some doubt, Nathan Green will play if one of them is out. Gareth Ellis is unlikely to play due to a corked thigh.

[Team Changes - Timana Tahu comes back from suspension at the expense of Junior Sa'u who goes back to NSW Cup. Kurt Gidley is out for at least a few weeks, and Ryan Stig is named to return from a knee injury that kept him out of the pre-season. Zeb Taia is named to start, despite being ousted by Alex McKinnon last weekend. Evarn Tuimavave and Marvin Filipo are the extra men on the bench. ]

[Team Changes- The Broncos lose Corey Parker for about a month with a thumb injury, so Sam Thaiday goes to the second row, Ben Te'o to lock and Petero Civoniceva starts at prop. Scott Anderson is the new face on the bench, after being a late withdrawal from the bench in Round 1. ]

TIPPING AND FANTASY LATE MAIL

SMH and Other Late Mail- The Knights have doubts over Ryan Stig and Neville Costigan, with Matt Hilder set to go to five-eighth and Evarn Tuimavave to get a run on the bench. The Broncos should be 1-17.

Brenton Lawrence and Luke O'Dwyer are the extra players on the bench, with talk that Jamal Idris, Steve Michaels and Luke Douglas are in doubt with injury. ]

[Team Changes - The Storm regained Jason Ryles for Round 2 and he is on the bench again this week. Rory Kostjasyn is added to a five man bench, but the starting team is unchanged. Billy Slater has a foot concern but should play.]
